Welcome back, hope you had fun. What do you know...we get Gonzo and a hypocrite Senator all in one Day. Maybe Cheney will check out in the next couple of months.

But serious question....since Alberto404error will resign on Sept 17th, who will be come the second set of eyes on wiretaps? It says AG Alberto Gonzo and DNI McConnell. Will it now be Chertoff and McConnell.

Seems Friday is not good enough for these folks anymore. Or is the gooder stuff still slipping out the back door on Fridays? Hard to image.

Bush's lament over the loss of Gonzales "because his good name was dragged through the mud for political reasons" can be parsed as an admission that the WH asked AGAG do political deeds (signing the torture memo, signing off on the NSA warrentless eavesdropping, firing assistant US attorneys whom deigned to investigate and prosecute corrupt Republican politicians) for the good of the Neocon cabal. And the phrase "his good name was dragged through the mud" is code for "AGAG took the bullet for us". Or is 'mud' a veiled reference to a meatgrinder?
